suitable for the transmittal of high-speed data over relatively short lengths.

Press Release Body: Santa Cruz, Calif Fiber optics are a comparatively new type of
transmitting media . A fiber-optic cable may consist of one fiber, multiples of
single-optical fibers, or bundles of optical fibers. Fiber-optic cables are well
suitable for the transmittal of high-speed data over relatively short lengths.

Basic Informations: Testing techniques and the principles of measurement for
fiber-optic and conventional cable are similar. For example, if both ends of the
cable are exposed and can be used for testing, relatively unsophisticated equipment
can be used to measure cable parameters, such as continuity and attenuation. This
includes equipment such as optical multimeters and optical power meters (OPM). If
only one cable end is available, then more sophisticated equipment such as an
optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR), is used.


Westek Electronics, Inc., a leading provider of telecommunications cords, cable and
test assemblies introduces its new Fiber Connector Insertion Removal Tool that
eliminates the possibility of disrupting other pairs in a tight, high-density fiber
block repair situation.
